Then you kill your service which might also be serving legitimate users.

It depends on how you set things up.

Eg if you fork for every request, that process only serves that one user. Or if you can restart fast enough.

I'm mostly inspired by Erlang here.

Fork at every request isn't going to make a fast server.
